Even healthy people can spread infection through direct contact with body fluids. Body fluids include blood, urine, stool (feces), drool (saliva), vomit, drainage from sores/rashes (pus), etc. Gloves must always be used when blood is present. When anyone has been in contact with body fluids or is at risk for being in contact with body fluids, precautions must be taken.​

Read the Body Fluids Scenario below. Identify proper and improper procedures that the adult followed in each of the scenarios.

Teacher Jennifer was holding, rocking, and talking quietly to baby Gabrielle. Gabrielle fussed a bit, scrunched her little face up and had a bowel movement. Teacher Jennifer could feel something warm. “Do you need your diaper changed, Sweetheart?” Teacher Jennifer asked as she carried Gabrielle to the changing table. She wished that she had been wearing her apron and hoped that none of Gabrielle’s fecal matter was on her.

She changed the baby’s diaper, put fresh clothing on her, and placed the diaper in the container, wishing that it had a lid to contain the smell. Gabrielle’s soiled clothes were put in a paper bag and into her cubbie for Mom to take home. She put Gabrielle down to play and picked up Victor to check his diaper.

1) Make a list of the proper procedures that should have been followed in the scenario. *
